Re: Efficiency gains

: Such voices -including those in the labour movement, trade unions,
feminists, anti-racists, environmentalists, anti-poverty activists
and other groups committed to progressive social change-are routinely
characterized as representing a threat to the interests of market
senitive news organizations. Thus the implications of reducing news
to just a commodity form like any other are profound, (particularly
when these types of critical voices are struggling just to be heard
within the confines of ideological parameters conditioned by the
drive for 'efficiency gains. )

: Thanks a lot.

Efficiency gains - working with lower costs to make more profit.
The usual way is to employ fewer staff by making staff redundant.
